Thank you everyone for your good wishes [:)] He has said He would not accept a kidney from a living donor, because their own family may have need of it some day, so it will have to be from someone who has died....not a nice thought but we would be extremely grateful to any family who agreed to donate their loved one's organs.
My ex brother in law lived for 17 years with a transplanted liver. He died a few months ago, but that was 17 more years he had to see his two daughters grow up, and a third daughter was born 3 years after the transplant. She would not exist were it not for a family's generosity. He also became a grandfather, and saw his grandson's first 4 years.
Regrettably Australia has one of the world's worst rates of organ donation [&o] So many people can be helped from just one person's organs. I am on the organ donation register, I won't need my bits when I'm dead but if they can help someone else they are welcome to anything that can be used.
